365 Days with Isla

Here goes, I am truly going to try to be better about blogging this new year. Happy 2011. Time with Isla is life altering. She is becoming such a cool little kid. Yes, it has been that long since I blogged. She is now a true toddler, one and a half and full of boundless energy (as always). My goal is to try to write something about her everyday, we shall see how this goes... Why? For SO many reasons... to assist me in never forgetting the little details of our life, to document memories for her to look back on when she is older, and of course, to give our far away family and friends some semblance of insight into her daily developmental changes, and they truly are daily. Our minds are blown by little Isla moments all day long, with new words ("raah- coon") and singing sweet songs she has made up all on her own. She has a such a sweet little voice.
Isla is completely absorbed by music. This being the case, we introduced her to a few songs from The Sound of Music while in Little Rock, by accident really. Today she watched about 30 minutes or so of the movie, thanks to Uncle Wade, and she was mesmerized by the singing. It is touching really. I think she just gets music somehow.
Today, she was picking shells on the beach, trying to skip and jump and running with me and Uncle Wade, with airplane arms wide. And singing, she is always singing.
